The film

Our passion for motorcycles is a way of life, a different way to live every day. The machine merges with the rider and matches his attitude: like us, free and authentic. Escape the City Limits shows what motorcycling is all about for us at Age of Glory: temperamental machines, new friendships, unforgettable moments and the freedom of two wheels.

Rider on a vintage motorcycle in the misty forest – Escape the City Limits
Break
the routine

It’s time to take the road and leave everyday life behind. The city is still asleep, and its calm barely seems troubled by the machine roaring through.

Escape, ride, never look back, and enjoy every moment of the first morning light.

Escape the City Limits, the short film

A dawn ride out of town, winding country roads and an old friend waiting at the end of the line. A short film directed by Chez Moi Prod for Age of Glory.

First light

Leaving the city behind

From the top of the small hill, the city already seems far away. It feels good to finally set foot on the ground, take your time and enjoy the moment.

Then it’s time to fire the machine back up and head for the first winding roads, in a countryside slowly waking up. A left turn, a right bend: the miles fly by on a ribbon of asphalt disappearing into nature.

Reunion

The old partner in crime

At the end of an endless straight line and one last bend, it’s time for the reunion. The old partner in crime is there, as if he had been waiting for centuries. He hasn’t changed much: the same comforting smile, and his old van as a sidekick.

They share so many memories: childhood, and a passion for authentic, capricious vintage machines. But the catching up will wait. He has a surprise for him…
